I agree with Wahaika between the difference of a husband and a boyfriend. When you have the boyfriend, this is my opinion, you should not need to let him know what you are doing regarding this particular thing (NBE). I want to make it straight forward and not make it sound like I am telling you to do anything you feel like, without caring to disrespect him. You are not married yet. I am married and talked to my husband about my plans of NBEing BEFORE doing anything at all. I told him that I wanted to do it for myself (this is because he told me that I was perfect). Since I had been with him for 5 years before starting NBE, we fully felt comfortable talking about personal issues. So I was honest to him and told him about my low self-esteem regarding my breasts. All he said was that as long as I don't damage my body in any way, to go for it.
If you have been with your boyfriend for many years, and it comes to not being able to avoid the fact that your breasts are growing, be honest to him and tell him what you are doing and why. If you have not been with him for that much of a long time, or feel like you have but he wouldn't understand or accept it, then you set your foot down girl, which means tell the truth. You are the owner of that body and do not need the consent of others to do what you know will help you; unless you are under 18
. If you feel like NBE will help you, what would you rather do, not help yourself in order to please others (who seem not to care about your insecurities), or help yousrelf in order to please yourself and be able to help others? When I had a low self-esteem, I would feel so insecure and would show it with a bad temper. My marriage was not doing so good. Once I started seeing and feeling a difference, I was a pleasure to be around (calm, fun, and mature). I helped my marriage work out better by helping myself first, by pleasing myself with the use of a confidence enhancer. Remember this is my opinion and my experience.
One thing though, I have not told my family other than my husband. They have not said anything yet about a difference, but when they do, I will be honest with them. In other words, tell the truth either way. NBE is much more comfortable in my opinion when you do not have to hide it.
Something that is somewhat related to this: when I was 5 months pregnant, my mom still did not know. People would ask her, "is your daughter pregnant?", she would try to figure it out and be like "no..." because she did not see much of a big stomach. Later that month I decided to confess, since it was getting a little too late
, and before I reached 6 months, my stomach grew immensily! There was no way I could hide it from anyone if I wanted to. My mom noticed the sudden shift and told me that when a woman is trying to hide her pregnancy, the stomach is not fully released, almost as if the child feels the fear to be seen. I believe the same thing with breasts. If you want to keep them a secret, you might cause feelings of discomfort, which might not be very appealing for the breasts; almost like drawing a line to where they cannot pass. You have to keep your body relaxed, stress causes hormonal problems. Stress can derive from the result of keeping it a secret. And stress can hinder NBE results.
Oh yeah and LMAO on Wahaika's first point!!!
